My first attempt at a female figure design. I KINDA LOVE IT! Especially enjoy how the eyes came out. Im trying not to be afraid of small details. I worry ill lose too much in the manual trim cutting.
I need more thread colors. Originally was going for a strawberry blonde.
What do you think?
I have been embroidering for about 3 months now. The stitches were so clean and precise. Although when i change the bobbin everything gets messed up. Usually i keep switching bobbins until one works. Now i am out of options bc all of the bobbins i have are the reject ones…. I am having a huge problem with bobbins. Everytime i use bobbins it shows through. I have done everything: coeaned the casing, dusted, oiled, threading correctly, etc! I have changed tension on the upper thread. Nothing seems to budge. Here is a pic of my changing tension and the thread showing through in every single one. Someone please help. Next stop is the shop!
Finished this horse embroidery stitch-out through iDigitize. I like how the simple outline looks against the dark fabric. What do you think of the stitch quality?
I’m wondering: What is the best alternative to water-soluble stabilizer for a hand towel?
This is 0.4.
Can anyone tell me why there’s gap in the white thread? Thanks
For the most part I’m content with how these turned out. I will likely tweak it myself if I make it again.
Does anyone have any suggestions of YouTube channels or resources to learn all of the ins and outs of digitizing? Most videos I stumble upon use vocabulary or techniques I'm not familiar with, and I'd love to really understand how to digitize so I can make quality pieces.
I have a few different mighty hoops, wondering what size frame is most versatile, useable, etc. ?
Any recommendations? I was gonna use hatch but I think you need to sign in to use it. And I want something that works without log ins. Does that exist? Man I hate this world of log ins and lab computers.
Curious what would cause this stitch to concave? Not sure if it’s something related to design. Odd to me it keeps happening in the same places? Thanks!
I just started trying to teach myself how to use a Brother SE425 Embroidery Machine. I keep running into an issue where I feel the back of my projects look better on the back side. I’ve been trying to research and it seems like it may be an issue with my tension. I tried to test this by using red thread on top and white in the bobbin, but I honestly cant really decipher the outcome (if it tells me anything at all). Any suggestions?
Hi friends! I'm a beginner in machine embroidery, and recently bought a machine. I've been lurking in this sub for a while and I'm a bit nervous about the oddities of machine embroidery. Luckily, I'm not super pressed for time or money so I just want to make things that I am proud of. I have both tech and graphic design background so I think I'm very fortunate in having a base of skills that might transfer well. Might suffer a bit in the physical/machinery department though...
That being said, it's a bit difficult to "practice" without the machine in my hands yet. Really itching in my seat waiting for my machine to arrive!!! I've been bouncing back and forth between investing in the big name software (Wilcom/Hatch/other) or just settling with Inkstitch for now. I played around with Inkstitch and followed a few basic tutorials already.
Questions:
Lastly, if you have some time to spare, please share your machine embroidery journey/stories with me! Whether it is for personal or business reasons, good or bad, and relevant or not. Let me hear you vent, amigos.
edit: I guess this type of post has run its course on reddit and we are not here for it. This is similar to how I write my emails idk what else to say. I wanted a thread of my own but being accused of writing with AI and guerrilla marketing for a blog has really taken me aback. I'm just a sensitive ass girl in her bedroom who wanted to spark up conv. I'm going to remove any mention of the machine brand and name in this edit.
Doing some test stitch outs of some 1" designs on denim. For the size im not about how they came out. I may or may not make some micro adjustments lile make the Charizard fangs larger fix the direction of the fill on him so I dont lose the left nostril. Other than that though im pleased with how they came out.
Which pokemon is your fav? I want to make more!
I’m having a recurring problem with fill stitches on my Brother Innov-is V3.
As you can see in the photo, I get visible horizontal gaps exactly where different sections of the fill meet. The same issue also happens with filled lettering, so it’s not specific to this cup design.
What I’ve already tried:
The design looks completely closed in the software, and there is no visible gap in the stitch preview. Two layers of stabilizer and more pull compensation improved the overall result slightly, but the gaps are still clearly there.
Has anyone experienced this exact issue? What was causing it in your case, and what actually fixed it?
Spent some extra time dialing in the face outlines and the fine details on the dress so it wouldn't pucker on heavy hoodie fabric. Always satisfying seeing the design come to life off the screen.
What do you guys think of the final result?
